Pros

You can dress like a slob and use profanity in meetings. Management is so bad that you can get away with sitting in your cube and serfing the net for hours at a time.

Cons

President David K. treats employees like slaves by talking down to them and making them feel like he is the only person in the world with a brain. He pretends to be above everyone but forgets how low budget his products are and the fact that the company doesn't even make enough money to replenish toilet paper in all the bathroom stalls. Good luck keeping employees around for long. Within the first six months I witnessed over 25 people leave the company because of terrible pay, unfair treatment, bad organization, limited resources, really bad / unqualified management. The only employees who stay with the company are those with no college degrees who have been there for 5+ years to hold down their low salary because no one else will hire them. HR is extremely gossipy and will tell anyone who will listen about your confidential information. Every single person that I worked with felt the same exact way so seriously RUN WHILE YOU CAN!

Pros

Decent pay, good benefits package. Middle manager are generally good and tends to be very flexible about time off and working form home. There's a pretty good range of technologies around, so there are opportunities to learn. It has a casual, friendly atmosphere and there are a lot of smart people.

Cons

The place practically has a revolving door. A lot of smart people come through, but they never stay long - most of the staff has been there less than 3 years. Priorities and business plans change with unsettling frequency. The CEO is snake-oil salesman who is completely out of touch with what's actually happening in the company. Upper management likes to set hard deadlines, either arbitrarily or based on inadequate planning, and then push the staff to work overtime to meet them.
